Density 92 · +11 vs Fruits & juices medianLime juice scores an Elite 92 of 100 and ranks 9th of 60 in fruits and juices, its profile built almost entirely around vitamin C at 33% DV, with little else standing out in a juice this low in calories.
It is used by the splash, squeezed over fish, folded into marinades, or mixed into drinks rather than drunk by the glass. A 1 cup (242 g) serving carries just 1.69 g of sugar, making it one of the lower-sugar juices in its category, and no limits are flagged for lime juice.
